It's difficult to predict how other organizations will deploy Cisco Secure Firewall, but my advice is to ensure the code being installed is the code recommended by Cisco.

The deployment seems to go well. I'm not the one personally doing it. That said, the guys I tell to do it get it done when we need it done.

The deployment process of Cisco Secure Firewall is simple enough. Out of the box, you perform the initial management configuration, specify the FMC location, join FMC, and then you can manage it from FMC. The process is straightforward and simple.

I need to get some more input on specific items they need to gather more information about, but so far, there are no issues.

The deployment experience with Cisco Secure Firewall is easy, with a straightforward deployment.

My experience with the deployment of Cisco Secure Firewall has been awesome.

My experience with the deployment of Cisco Secure Firewall has been awesome. I come in when they have the old network and deploy it. I install a cabinet and new drops. I configure the Meraki gear onto their old network side by side. Especially during downtime, I can plug the firewall into that rack to get the external IP configured. Once my ISP comes in, I apply those IP addresses to the firewall.

My experience with the deployment of Cisco Secure Firewall has been generally okay.

The deployment is pretty seamless. Sometimes we do have some issues with Palo Alto Fireworks, where when it comes to deploying, it's not as intuitive. It doesn't work correctly, and there are some bugs that come up. So we have to troubleshoot that aspect. Cisco Secure Firewalls is pretty pretty seamless.

My experience with the deployment of Cisco Secure Firewall is that it's pretty straightforward.

The deployment time could be improved. The deployment was good, however, it could be sped up. There was a bit of a learning curve as well.

Deploying Cisco Secure Firewall is very straightforward and uncomplicated, as the systems are simple to deploy and the graphic interface is user-friendly.

When I use the CLI, everything works quite well. I attempted to do everything with the GUI at the beginning, but nothing works. I managed to set up the HA pair with no issues once I used the CLI.

The deployment of Cisco Secure Firewall was kind of straightforward and was not problematic.

You need some knowledge to set up Cisco Secure Firewall, but overall, there is good documentation and it was doable.

Deploying Cisco Secure Firewall was harder in the early days, but today it has become very easy. Cisco can support me with the necessary tools to migrate, making the process easier now.

The experience of deployment with Cisco Secure Firewall is very easy. I have been using Cisco Secure Firewall in the Meraki dashboard, which means I just need to connect them all and have my licenses ready. Deployment-wise, it is smooth and very straightforward.

Deploying Cisco Secure Firewall is effective because it is advanced technology. It needs some experience, training, self-study, and support from the tech engineer side.

I would describe the deployment process for Cisco Secure Firewall as straightforward. The deployment process is very easy because Cisco Secure Firewall has a good setup in the Firepower Management Center.

My experience with deploying Cisco Secure Firewall is that it is complicated, but if you have the experience, you can deploy it smoothly. There is a high learning curve for the deployment of Cisco Secure Firewall.

The complexity of deploying Cisco Secure Firewall varies depending on how many you have deployed. When I first deployed it, I still had to refer to documentation and conduct some trial and error, as we had to reconfigure some elements because of the interesting environment where we had to port-channel separately instead of as one bundled channel in an HA cluster. The complexity really depends on the environment.

I find deploying Cisco Secure Firewall to be a little bit challenging, but once it is implemented on our network, it is stable with no problems or issues. It is not that complex, and if we know our network, the Cisco team is helpful in guiding us to achieve the best design and implementation.

The deployment for Cisco Secure Firewall takes no more than six to eight hours, but the fine-tuning of the solution typically takes four or five days.

I find the implementation of Cisco Secure Firewall depends on the requirements; there are two approaches. To deploy a new firewall is easy if we are using cloud-based management. However, the same functionality applies to both whether it's cloud-based or on-prem. The plug-and-play feature is useful for onboarding new firewalls. That makes it easy to onboard a firewall in the management center automatically without any CLI. We just have to plug in the device and connect the cable for the network.

It took a couple of months to deploy Cisco Secure Firewall; that was the same for secure access, as it was all part of the same rollout. What took those months to deploy was probably more internal change controls; it is just slower moving, as I have done a lot of testing deployments in lab environments, so it is less of a technology issue and more of the constraints of where I work that slow it down.

I might not say because I cannot compare my own experience with other people's experiences. For people like me and probably the majority of my team, we do not find it difficult to implement or deploy. However, for some new generation people that are just coming to the industry, they might find other firewalls very easy and straightforward in terms of deployment because they cannot be compared to Cisco Secure Firewall devices. For me, probably based on my years of experience, I do not find any challenges in terms of deployment.

Cisco Secure Firewall requires maintenance. Maintaining it is slightly complex; it is not easy or very easy.
